Shitake Cream & Sweet Potato Gnocchi

9 ounces sweet potato gnocchi, cooked and drained

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 large shallot, finely diced

1 (5 ounce) container shitake mushrooms, sliced

1 (8 ounce) container heavy cream

8-10 very small sage leaves for garnish

pinch salt

fresh ground pepper

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat until bubbling.

Toss shallot and shitake mushrooms into butter and cook until the mushrooms begin to turn golden brown. Add cream, toss in gnocchi. Garnish with sage, salt, and pepper, if desired.
